I see from your early post that you live in a transit village. I would think that people should be clamoring for high-density development around rail stations but along the Pittsburg BART line there is still a lot of opposition every time such things are proposed. When I see a plan for 100 units next to BART my reaction is, why not 200? There is still a resistance to a car-free commute.
It's starting to change, but ever so slowly. One of the reasons we located in this area is that most of the towns have neighborhoods within walking distance of vibrant shopping and service areas and BART (I'm a city kid at heart.) It's not perfect but at least it's not endless house farms, and we're close enough for when the peak oil reality sets in.
